What I Have Learned In Math This Year…
This year in math I have learned how to do two digit times two digit multiplication. I learned how to multiply two digit times two digit by expanding the numbers out into a grid. Another thing I have learned this year is how to do long division. My teacher made it a lot easier than it could have been by giving us a way to remember all the steps:Dose McDonald’s Sale Cheese Burgers Really? That stands for Divide, Multiply, Subtract, Compare, Bring down, Repeat. Those helped us so there wasn’t as much as a chance to skip a step. We’ve also learned how to draw and measure angles. Obtuse, acute, and right angles are what we have learned. An obtuse angle is more than 90 degrees. Th e acute angles are below 90 degrees. Every single right angle there is it has to be right on 90 degrees. This year we have also learned a lot of tricks on the calculator. Like if you want to do repeated addition or subtraction you just have to hit the = sign. Another trick we have learned is that if you want to have a number remembered all you have to do is hit the M+ key. We have also learned how to get the volume of a 3D figure by doing length X width X height = the volume of a figure. A way our teacher helped us remember that was she showed us a catchy song.
